Is SSD requierement important?

[randomguest]

This is the first time i encountered sth like that. I'm not much into tech, just casual gamer, so i didn't even know there are different drive drisks. If I will have this game on HDD will it work? Anyone did this?

It is important for this game. This game suffers from microstutters on SSDs too, an HDD is only going to make things worse.

So will it be playable, on lowest settings perhaps?

I don't think the graphics quality matters in this game, but why not get a good SSD and use it with a USB adapter at least? It will save you quite a lot of trouble with modern games.

Because i literally don't know what you mean by using with USB adapter. Im not much into computers besides gaming, so i would have to spent some time learning and figuring things out. I will, if it's necesary, but i just want to know if you think it's possible to play this game without major crashes etc. on HDD. I could survive with longer loading screens for example. I have been playing few modern games like RDR 2, Arkham Trilogy or Witcher and never had trouble btw.

just so you know, you won't get the same performance running an SSD over USB as you would SATA of NVME. it will be a lot slower actually but i guess it's prob still better than HDD? especially those 5400rpm pieces of junk they put in laptops.

if you ask me, if you have the money take that $40 and buy yourself a good ssd. you can even get some good ones used off ebay. i think that would bring you way more enjoyment in the long run than this game but that's on you. have you checked out any of the reviews? some of them have went pretty in depth, like angry joe's review was over an hour i believe?

It's much better than HDD, still slower than SATA and NVMe of course. Though the difference in sequential reading is definitely worth it.

I honestly can't imagine not having an SSD at this point. I think I got my first one in...2006? If you play games or do more than web browse and word process on your computer at all, having an HDD is like being in the stone age.

I literally played every single modern game possible RDR 2, GTA V, ME legendary, Arkham Trilogy, SW Squadrons, even freaking Detroit Become Human, so for a ''stone age'' it's VERY ADVANCED, and i honestly think you were offensive and ignorant.

Dont wanna be mean byt About the " every single modern game ( that you played)" every of these game runs on ps3/ps4 era, which they have HDD. GTA5 ps3/360 game era, same goes for ME, same for the two first arkham game ps3 era.SW can't tell never played it but its basically space?RDR2 is probably the closest one to a "modern game" but still ran on a Xbox One( crap hardware btw).DBH linear game, probably not a lot of things to load, also base ps4 game. these game don't need NSA Pc to play.

But those are not modern, we're in 2024 now.

Yeah, you played every single modern game possible with huge load times and constant stuttering, so no, I'm not offensive and ignorant

For having such a negative and snippy attitude, you are the one using an HDD in 2024.

Today, SSD is required on everything (OS, programs)
When you want storage files, videos, backup, HDD is fine for those purpose.
